Boot build vs base build terminology

namedescription
base build

When Deltares supplies the Delft-FEWS binaries, this is often referred to as the base build. Optionally, updating Delft-FEWS can be done by uploading the base build in the Admin Interface.

boot build

When installing a Delft-FEWS base build to run the Delft-FEWS Master Controller, ConfigManager, Operator client, or Forecasting Shell Server on a host machine, the base build is unzipped.  This is referred to as the boot build.

Recommended installation is to:

  1. Create a folder with the version name in it,
  2. Create a shortcut or link /opt/fews/bin or d:\fews\bin referring to it. 

When the boot build does not work properly or for the log4j mitigation, it is required to replace the boot build.

patch.jar

The patch.jar is a mechanism for distributing fixes or new features that are not in the base build.  For every release a new patch is required that is higher than the boot build / uploaded base build.
